The VideoLAN Forums

I put in the sample command line, on the wiki, to try and give a clear idea of what it should look like. Sorry I couldn't give a Mac or Linux version of that line, since I don't use those OS'. If someone using the other OS' could add the proper command line syntax to use, in the wiki, that would be ...

The same steps, registry entries, should apply for Win2K.

I'm not positive, but that may now be in the auto-installer (the ability to choose autoplay).

If you cut your cache sizes down, use mpeg4 video with UDP/MPEG TS streaming, you chould get about 700 ms total latency.

If you switch to RTP (or is it RTSP?), you reportedly can get about 200 ms.

(I say "reprotedly" only because I haven't personally tried it -- the 700 is my own results)

The biggest issue is that most people do not have multicast ISP, especially not multicast outgoing. (Multicast is a method that lets you send out one set of something, then as many people as want can listen to it -- it takes no more bandwidth) So, you would be retricted to addressed mode, a case whe...

Do a search for one of the files. Right click on it and pick "Open with" -- "Choose Program". Hunt for the program you want, then click the "Always use" checkbox. Overall, this should be harmless. A .bin is often simply a binary -- individual apps that have their own .b...

When I tried the link, it looks like it's a Real stream, with Real audio -- proprietary.

I thought the on-the-fly channel change was implemented, but in a quick look I do not see it. I don't think it would be hard to implement, just that it might not be in place as of yet, at least it's not exposed through, for example, the rc telnet-like interface. You might want to give that realvnc a...

It might be nice to have for the Videolan wiki, wiki.videolan.org, which is designed to handle information for users trying to do various things with the software.

Just for kicks, have you tried ab=64?

And the .avi plays locally OK?

In Windows, using the normal wxwindows user interface: Click the "Stream Output" checkbox on the page where you select what you want to watch. This opens a "Stream Output" page. Click the "Play locally" and "File" checkboxes. In the file checkbox you have to p...

1) Make sure you have the latest DirectX from MS, plus check for the latest NVidia drivers from them. 2) Under Settings -- Preferences, -- General -- Video, try forcing the video module. Try both Directx and OpenGL, see if one works better. 3) Try a nightly build -- do a search on this forum for tha...

I actually work from the developer version -- do a forum search for the phrase "nightly build" and you'll find the link. To hjave things that are persistent, you go to Settings -- Preferences. Look under Modules -- Access, for Dshow. Click the Advanced Options button so you can see things....

No big deal, if the Radeon can be viewed locally on the big PC using VLC. First, make sure you have the latest DirectX from MS, and video card drivers, for both the big PC and your tablet. What you do is transcode the audio and video, then stream it out over the WiFi. A 1 Mbps mp4v-encoded video, 96...

No luck -- that's an ON2 proprietary video CODEC. VLC doesn't support it (no add-in available)

Launch VLC, then open a Windows explorer window, drag the VIDEO_TS folder on top of the running copy of VLC.

rtci is deprecated/removed. It was just a stub, a 100% duplicate of rc, that had been put in place if an rc variant was generated.

See: http://wiki.videolan.org/index.php/VLCSout

It describes the formats needed, has a sample vlc command line to do the initial step, suggests ISO generation/burning tools (for Windows -- hopefully other OS' will be added soon)

Different problem :) I've been mucking about a little, have something that at least works VLC - VLC mmsh over WiFi, at up to about 512K. It's a .reg, modifies the WinXP default TX and receive buffer sizes, and how many packets total can be in the TX buffer. This will take time -- TCP serving is a bi...

It's all about getting compatible formats. The mix I use is: Streaming method mmsh Encapsulation method ASF Transcoding Video CODEC DIV3 Transcoding Audio CODEC mp3 vlc c:\temp\Dive1_3_out.mpg :sout=#transcode{vcodec=DIV3,vb=320,scale=1,acodec=mp3,ab=96,channels=2}:duplicate{dst=std{access=mmsh,mux=...

mpeg2 generally doesn't play nice for special things. Use mpeg4 or h264, or switch to MJPEG if it is not only low framerate but also very low bitrate.

Yes, what you do is re-stream the incoming network stream to a file. File -- Open Network Stream. Select the proper network stream input -- an mmsh://whatever, else a UDP multicast, else... Select the "Stream Output" checkbox, then Settings. This opens a Stream Output window, where you can...

Write software.
You would go into the CODECs directory area, take a look at what's modeled there, plus probably have to do something in the Demux area.

(Look at DMO in CODECs, which uses hooks to external DMO codec objects.)

It's called "transcoding".
There's a guide to streaming using the wxwindows interface on the Documentation page, plus a much more detailed general-use guide to streaming.

For WMP, I use DIV3 video codec, mp3 audio -- works well.

It's been around for a while, but if you have a Mac or Windows the nightly builds get you the latest functionality. While playing a video, do a Ctrl S, else select Video -- Snapshot from the menu. (If you're using the skins interface, it's something like rightclick inside the video, then select Vide...
